Re: so apparently I'm about to ragequit Sherlock (SPOILERS S3E3 in the comments)

[dreemyweird]

The guys upthread have more or less nailed it. I enjoy ACD's Moriarty. He's this cheesy-ish, a little too omnipotent to be believable (but still balancing just on the edge between plausible and implausible) but nevertheless creepy antagonist. He is like salt in a dish. And, just as there is only a pinch of salt in a dish, there's only one story where Moriarty is explicitly present. One out of sixty, let that sink.

What do the creators of the adaptations do? They grab their bag of salt and dance around, throwing handfuls of salt in their damn macaroni. Quite naturally, the food becomes quite inedible. STAHP with cheesiness. Do you seriously think that ACD's stories would have been improved if the poor guy made Moriarty commit all the crimes Holmes solves? No? Then why do you think that out of your stupid n episodes n/2 should contain Moriarty? HOW COME in 1954 Sheldon Reynolds could film a 29-episode adaptation without mentioning Moriarty once, but in 2013 you cannot make an adaptation without SHUTTING UP ABOUT THE DAMN MORIARTY?

I'm sick of omnipotent omnipresent archnemeses. I'm sick of Irene-the-love-interest-and-simultaneously-SURHPRISEHH-MORIARTY. GO AWAY. I just want some humane, interesting antagonists who were present in abundance in the Holmes stories. I want to see the Rucastles. I want to see Ryder. I want to see the dog from COPP GIVE ME THE DOG. I'll take this dog over Moriarty in no bloody time at all.

haha sorry I've got a bad case of feelings
